The name Hank Williams, Jr. isn’t usual associated with political insight and expert analysis of current events. But the “Are you ready for some football?” singer has some strong political views, and he shared them on “Fox & Friends” Monday morning. Among other things, he compared the president to Adolph Hitler.

Williams said Monday morning that a pivotal moment for him was the so-called golf summit in June between President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner.

“You remember the golf game they had, ladies and gentlemen? Remember the golf game? That was one of the biggest political mistakes ever,” Williams said. “That turned a lot of people off. It just didn’t go over.”

“Come on, come on,” the country performer continued. “It would be like Hitler playing golf with Netanyahu, OK? Not hardly. In the country this shape it’s in, the shape this country is in, I mean, no, I don’t think so.”

Host Brian Kilmeade said he didn’t understand that analogy, but Williams insisted that others would.

“Well, I’m glad you don’t, brother, because a lot of people do,” he said. “They’re the enemy” – meaning Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.

Steve - Your comment just serves to prove to the liberal media the Tea Party is made up of people who hold extreme views. Barack Obama is a one-term President and I liken him to Jimmy Carter in his approach to governing us as a socialist. We have a democratic system to remove politicians who do not lead us the way we believe and it will work once again in 2012. You can boycott and not watch Monday night football but the best way to get rid of politicians with whom we don't agree is to vote them out of office.

I just read this and it really surprised me. Wondering what's up with Cain??? Not a fan of his. Thinking if he got in with his 999 plan I would be paying our TN State sales tax of over 9% plus his National tax of 9% meaning for every dollar I spend almost 20% would go for sales tax. Here is the article.

Perhaps equally telling, Cain's well-regarded communications director and her deputy are both leaving the campaign, with the director headed to… run press operations for Louisiana Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne in a tough primary election. That’s not exactly a vote of confidence in Cain’s presidential prospects.

Herman Cain's campaign isn’t dead by any means. But look at the difference between his campaign and that of Texas Congressman Ron Paul. With Paul rising in the polls, the congressman started cutting aggressive broadcast ads pounding Texas Gov. Rick Perry, among others, and hauling in campaign dollars. Paul’s got two events in New Hampshire today.

When you peel off the campaign trail for four weeks in the heat of the fight, it raises questions about just what the heck a candidate is doing in the race anyway. As Decoder previously wrote, all candidates not named Rick Perry or Mitt Romney have another goal in running for president to keep them going in the face of their slim poll numbers. For Ron Paul, it’s moving the national conversation toward his libertarian themes. For Jon Huntsman, it’s setting up a potential bid in 2016. For Michele Bachmann, it’s enshrining herself as a leading light of the GOP’s most hard-right members.

When you take yourself off the campaign trail just to flog a book, it raises the question: Why are you still around, Herman Cain? And what’s the real motive behind this run?

Darlene, what you have posted (from the Christian Science Monitor) is an opinion, and a very biased opinion, masquerading as news. I was surprised at the Christian Science Monitor for printing it. I was not aware they had not gone bankrupt. Anyway, Herman Cain is hot on the campaign trail. He is most certainly not "suspending his campaign". He is also promoting his new book, "I Am Herman Cain", just released today, at the same time he campaigns. It's a smart business move, and a smart political move. I'm looking forward to his visit to Florida tomorrow. Also, fortunately, I am not the only one to "bust" the Christian Science Monitor on their "article":

I watched the Fox News program yesterday and although it was apparent that Hank Jr was mad as hell (as are most Americans these days) he did NOT call Obama Hitler..he just used a strong analogy to make a point. It would be like Hitler playing golf with Netanyahu...to make a point

Where is the outrage when the far left compares conservatives to Hitler and worse?

Talk about non-sensical TV shows with radical celebrities. How about "Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior" starring Janeane Garofala as an FBI agent? We somehow are able to watch Whoopi Goldberg and separate her political views from her excellent acting abilities. But even Whoopi has had to apologize for going overboard with her political comments. Hank Williams Jr. should stick to performing country music and keep out of making extreme political statements making him and the Tea Party look like a bunch of rednecks.

I go along with No Hank Williams no ESPN ....Since when does a Liberal Groups (10%) rule this country... We have young heads full of mush sitting in down on Wall Street and not one of them know the reason they are there..
